Get far enough north and they are spectacular (northern lights, not mullets)

Major solar flares headed this way right now. The light show should be amazing.

Ok, hear me out.

Doug Gilmour as head coach.

He's already involved with the team. He has coaching experience. He has immense respect from the players and fanbase.

Ok, it's a risky move. He's never coached at the NHL level. But, has coached the minors and was an assistant for the Marlies. He's not just a pee wee coach like Marty St. Louis when he got the Montreal job.

Give him this coming season to demonstrate his coaching chops. If it doesn't pan out, you jettison a core member after Tavares/Marner's contracts are up and hire one of the same old names we keep hearing again and again.

Make sure to get out this weekend and catch some aurora action.

I've never seen one first-hand. I am jealous of those who live where it can been seen.

In Florida, you gotta snort bath salts to see the aurora.

My mullet was legend.

I plan on catching the lights tonight.

Should be intense..

I've heard a recording of it. It's eerie. I bet it would be a "buzz" to sit out under that and take it all in. One of these days I need to get my ass up north to catch it.

In all seriousness, what don't you like about Gilmour as coach? Is it strictly his lack of NHL-level experience, or something else? The lack of experience is not nothing though.

Well not really. You were referencing half the truth. Like your views on pretty much everything. Half informed...Unlike Bert who fully informed himself and ended up getting fully vaxxed.

"Police have charged 24-year-old Christon Arman Johnson of Brampton and 21-year-old Anas Adan Farah of Toronto."

Actually, its your passive aggressive racist posts getting in your way again.

You poop head racist. How about you stick to telling everyone about:

1. How incredibly rich you are - cause that's totally what super wealthy people do...definitely not middle-class gangsters trying hard.

2. How many Masters you have

3. Green Egg. Say Green Egg again. It has the making of a killer drinking game - every time the obviously chubby divorced racist says Green Egg take a shot.

4. How you won a made up trophy - All Ontario for Hockey (that one kills me eh)

5. How wildly lonely, nonathletic, and insecure you are...Well your posts tell me that anyways

It was worthy of two responses - You clearly have never been to Etobicoke. There is a nice pockets but also in the northern and western limits of Etobicoke specifically - not so nice. There is also Mimico and Lakeshore which is a mixed bag of nuts.

You weren't a Toronto kid when you were in Ontario huh

He’s not the one who’s supposed to take anyone to the promised land.

He’s supposed to be their best winger, and he has been for 8 years.

You can’t tell me there hasn’t been a concerted effort by some people in Leafs nation to run him out of town since he signed his last contract.

It’s incredibly simple. This team isn’t built properly aroind their two start players, Auston and Mitch. It just isn’t. Domi and Bert is a good start, but they need a lot more of that. They haven’t drafted well, with the exception of Knies.

This is 100% on Shanahan. And since they didn’t sack his ass, it’s now on ownership. And since there’s no single owner we can point at, it is what it is and this team will never do what needs to be done.

Just sell jerseys, charge $300 for nosebleeds, and keep shafting the people.

The only reason the leafs haven’t done better in playoffs is because of the 3 men in front of the cameras this morning. They have known the weaknesses of this team for years and have failed to address them. And then, to satisfy the appetite of the fans and medias for someone to blame, they sacrificed Keefe. Leafs management is an embarrassment!! Too corporate!!! The first mistake they made was to sign JT!!! They were desperate, the three other core players were young and JT would take them to the promise land immediately, Mistake!!! Money should have been spent on goaltending and defence, they would have won a cup by now and be contending every year. Now it’s MM that is going to be the next sacrifice, a very talented player that needed to be surrounded by the right type of players. Management failed, short and sweet! I wouldn’t give up on MM, but would ship JT ( if he agrees ) far far away. Give this team back to the youth, get the goalie and D players, it’s not too late!
